- Good morning guys and welcome back to my channel.
Today I'm gonna be sharing with you
my morning cleaning routine.
So these are all the cleaning tasks
that I try to get done every single morning.
I love a good routine.
I feel like by doing these simple small things
every morning, really help me to stay on top of everything
like laundry, and having a tidy house.
And I also have an evening cleaning routine.
If you haven't seen that, I will link it down below
so you guys can go and check it out.
I've also done daily cleaning routines,
speed cleans, so many cleaning videos.
So if you like this kind of thing, I would love for you
to subscribe so that you can see them in the future as well.
And, of course, I will link my favorite ones down below.
But yes, without further ado, let's get
into my morning cleaning routine.
When we come downstairs in the morning,
the house is normally quite tidy because I always try
to leave it this way when we go up to bed.
If you want to check out my evening routine for cleaning,
I will link it in the description down below
but I just like to get all of the dishes
into the dishwasher and everything off the surfaces.
And then, when we come downstairs,
the first thing that I do every morning
is unload the dishwasher.
I'll do this before I do anything else.
Before I make breakfast, or a cup of tea,
I just find if I don't do it straight away
then there becomes a big backlog of dishes.
So I'll just put it all away and
then I will get on and make the boys breakfast.
It's also summer here at the moment,
so then I will normally open our bi-fold doors
because this room has the sun on it first thing
and it does get quite warm.
So I'm just going to open those up!
Once the boys have eaten breakfast, there is normally quite
a bit of food underneath the highchair.
Our one year old tends to throw his food
over the side once he's finished with it.
So I'm just going to use an e-cover wipe
to wipe all of that up and then clear away all of the
plates, bowls, and cups from the table and the highchair.
And then I'm going to give it all
a wipe with my method cleaner.
This is the pink grapefruit scent and I really like it.
I just like to do this straight away.
I find it so much easier to clean if I wipe everything down
straight away and then put everything else
into the dishwasher and chuck away any food
they haven't eaten and put it all away.
I'm also going to put away the frying pan that Matt used
for his breakfast and wipe down all of the surfaces
again using my method cleaner.
And then I'm going to tackle the couch outdoors.
This time of year we tend to spend a lot of time outside.
It's like another room of our house in the summer.
So I'm going to set up the couch out there
and the boys are going to help me.
We get so many questions about this couch.
We actually found it on eBay.
If I can find something similar I will link it down below
for you guys but it's really, really nice.
I quickly got ready now and I'm
just going to do the school run.
Daddy has taken the two little ones to take Caleb to school,
so I'm just doing Mr. Frazier and I want to show
you his hat, there's YouTube!
Once I get back from the school run,
I'm going to put a wash on.
I put a wash on every single morning
to help me stay on top of laundry.
And even if we don't have many whites or darks,
I will wash things like sheets or today,
I'm actually washing the boys shoes.
They have got so muddy and so dirty
that it is time to wash them.
And I think most washing machines have a shoe setting
on them, so I'm going to put this on.
I will say if you wash your shoes, it can be quite noisy.
After that I'm going to put some of the boys laundry away.
I always try to do this in my evening routine,
but I find this is like my hardest cleaning task.
I can do the laundry, I can iron it and get it folded,
but it's just getting it away.
So while I have a minute, I'm going to run around
to the boys rooms and put all of their clothes away.
Next up, I'm going to open the blinds, and I'm also going
to open up Frazier's deluxe windows.
He has two skylights, and I find if they're open,
they kind of circulate the air
in the entire upstairs of our house.
Then I'm going to run around and make all of the beds.
I try to do this every single morning.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes I don't have the time,
but it's really important to me.
It's one of those little things
that just sets me up for a good day.
And there's a famous quote that says
Make your bed every morning
and you will have already accomplished something.
It just makes me feel productive.
It also makes a room instantly look so much cleaner.
I think a made bed just makes a room look clean and tidy.
So I'm just going to make ours now
and I've got some throw cushions that are from Homesense
on the bed and then I recently got this throw,
it is a jewels throw that I found on Next,
and I thought it was quite summery.
I like the pom poms.
I'm also going to tidy away the hair curlers
that I used this morning.
I have a little box for all of my electrical things.
And then, in Jackson's room, there's nothing much
that ever needs tidying, but I just tend
to put his books away.
I also wanted to show you this little reading area
that we've just made in Jackson's room.
Now that he's nearly two, he's loving books.
So we thought we would do this for him
and it would also be like a nice feature in his room.
So we got these little cushions,
I will link them down below.
They're really soft and squishy.
I do want to get a few throw cushions to go on it as well.
And then I got the bookcase from Amazon but it is basically
a dupe from one that I really liked on
The Great Little Trading Company
but it was a lot more expensive,
so I'll link this one as well.
And then I've got his little My First Years Toy Basket here.
I don't know if you can see that,
but it says Jackson's Toys and then he's
just got a few bits in there that he likes to play with.
So, we basically got rid of the big ball pool
because he doesn't really use it as much anymore
and now he's got a little reading area.
If it's needed, I will run around
with my Dyson Cordless Hoover.
I don't do this every morning,
but it normally is needed after breakfast in this house.
And it's so quick and easy to do.
I just charge this when I'm not using it
and then I can run around with it whenever I need to.
It literally takes like a few minutes.
I'll normally just focus on going under the table
and the kitchen where I've prepared breakfast
if there's any toast left over.
And then I'm just going to straighten up the front room.
The two older boys have taken to hanging out
here a bit more lately.
So I'm just going to sort out the throw cushions,
wipe any crumbs off the couch
and straighten it all up, make it look a lot nicer.
Yes, and that was it, that is pretty much how I leave
our house before I go out on a good day.
I really hope you enjoyed my cleaning routine
and seeing how I try and stay on top of everything.
And I'm now off out with Jackson.
We're going to a little petting farm
that isn't that far from us.
And it's a beautiful day so I've got my sunglasses on
and I've got like a summer dress on.
So, yes, I liked it and I will see you in my next one.
Bye guys!
